August 31, 2004 – Clear skies and an open road up to the Centre of the Universe Observatory welcomed a select field of climbers yesterday. The mass start climb made its return after a 7 year hiatus. Daniel Goncalves and Jason Eagles fought it out up the 2.2km climb, with the Trek VW rider coming out victorious.

The Victoria Cycling League has three more events – Neild Rd, Mt. Doug,
